The next day, I woke up with a sore throat and by the evening, a 101.5F fever. Today is Day 5 and I'm mostly over it, a cough or two here and there and a stuffy nose, but I'm a bit paranoid that my rapid progress will stop progressing.
Just take it easy getting back into it. Go easy until power and heart rate data look normal and you are recovering well. Too many people are having weird heart issues right after Covid or the vaccine to go pushing too hard too soon.
